Have you heard the news? He’s back from the past, traveling through time to regain his cowl. It also looks like he’s going to have slight costume changes. Like a friend of mine said, a regular Davy Jones. There’s also Caveman Batman, who looks like he gutted Man-Bat and wore his skin as a cape. [...]

Just recently, I got clued into Gotham by Gaslight, a version of the Batman story set in 1889 where he’s pitted up against Jack the Ripper, who comes to Gotham City, presumably to eat more kidneys.

I feel a bit disheartened that most people [...]

I have to admit, Batman: The Killing Joke was a bit underwhelming for me. It’s not that it wasn’t good, or it wasn’t worth the money I paid. Quite the contrary. It was both of those, and how. The origin of Batman’s crazy archnemesis told in an equally manic fashion garners a buy from me [...]

So I just finished reading Watchmen, and I have to say, it is one of the deepest graphic novels I’ve read. Most of the novels that float around now, while having their own artistic and literary merits, tend to focus too much on fantastic and otherworldly concerns. There’s too little social relevance. Now that might [...]
